Verbindungselement zum Verbinden von Einzelschützen zu einer Schützkombination
5Connecting element for connecting individual contactors to a contactor combination
5

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verbindungselement zum Verbinden von Einzelschützen zu einer Schützkombination.The invention relates to a connecting element for connecting individual contactors to form a contactor combination.

Verbindungselemente für Schützkombinationen gehören seit geraumer Zeit zum Lieferprogramm von Schützherstellern. Bei den hierzu verwendeten Schützen sind die Magnetkammern mit Nuten, z.B. Schwalbenschwanznuten oder T-Nuten ausgeprägt. Die bekannten Verbindungselemente sind im Bereich von Hutschienenbefestigungen der Schütze positioniert. Auf diese Weise werden die Verbindungselemente gegen Herausfallen fixiert. Bei Verschraubung der Geräte auf einer Grundplatte ist ein Herauswandern der Verbindungselemente bis zur Grundplatte möglich.Connecting elements for contactor combinations have been part of the product range of contactor manufacturers for some time. The contactors used for this purpose have their magnetic chambers with grooves, e.g. dovetail grooves or T-grooves. The well-known connecting elements are positioned in the area of the top hat rail fastenings of the contactors. In this way, the connecting elements are secured against falling out. When the devices are screwed onto a base plate, the connecting elements can migrate out to the base plate.

Die zunehmende Miniaturisierung der Schütze, insbesondere die Reduzierung der Baubreite, bringt es mit sich, daß durch die Platzverhältnisse in der Magnetkammer die mögliche Positionierung der Koppelstelle eingeschränkt wird. Wird die Koppelstelle außerhalb des Eingriffsbereichs der Hutschiene gewählt, muß ein Herauswandern des Verbindungselements zuverlässig verhindert werden.The increasing miniaturization of contactors, in particular the reduction in the overall width, means that the possible positioning of the coupling point is limited by the space available in the magnet chamber. If the coupling point is chosen outside the engagement area of the top hat rail, the connection element must be reliably prevented from moving out.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verbindungselement zu schaffen, bei dem unabhängig von der Position in der Magnetkammer der Schütze und unabhängig von der Befestigungsart, z.B. Hutschienenbefestigung oder Aufschrauben auf einer Grundplatte, ein Herauswandern zuverlässig verhindert wird. Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Verbindungselement mit folgenden Merkmalen gelost:The invention is based on the object of creating a connecting element in which migration is reliably prevented regardless of the position in the magnet chamber of the contactors and regardless of the type of fastening, e.g. top hat rail fastening or screwing onto a base plate. The object is achieved by a connecting element with the following features:

GR 97 G 3151GR 97 G 3151

a) Das Verbindungselement weist Eingriffsabschnitte zum Einschub in angepaßt gestaltete- Eingriffsnuten der Schütze auf,a) The connecting element has engagement sections for insertion into adapted engagement grooves of the contactors,

b) das Verbindungselement der Eingriffsabschnitte mit Rastnasen versehen, die zur Verrastung an den Einzelschützen nach Einschub der Eingriffsabschnitte in die Eingriffsnuten dienen,b) the connecting element of the engagement sections is provided with locking lugs which serve to lock onto the individual contactors after the engagement sections have been inserted into the engagement grooves,

c) die Rastnasen sind an federnden Außenflächen des Verbindungselements angeformt.c) the locking lugs are molded onto the springy outer surfaces of the connecting element.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Verbindungselements sind den Unteransprüchen 2 und 3 zu entnehmen.Advantageous further developments of the connecting element can be found in subclaims 2 and 3.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing.

FIG 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Verbindungs-FIG 1 is a perspective view of a connecting

FIG 2 das Verbindungselement gemäß FIG 1 nach Verrastung in einem Einzelschütz.FIG 2 shows the connecting element according to FIG 1 after locking in a single contactor.

In FIG 1 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Verbindungselements 1 zum Verbinden von Einzelschützen zu einer Schützkombination dargestellt. Das Verbindungselement 1 weist T-förmige Eingriffsabschnitte 2 auf. Im Kopfbereich 3 ist das Verbindungselement 1 mit zwei federnden Schenkeln 4 ausgeführt, an deren Außenflächen Rastnasen 5 angeformt sind. Der Abstand a der Eingriffsabschnitte 2 ist dem Montageabstand der Einzelschütze angepaßt.FIG 1 shows a perspective view of a connecting element 1 for connecting individual contactors to form a contactor combination. The connecting element 1 has T-shaped engaging sections 2. In the head area 3, the connecting element 1 is designed with two resilient legs 4, on whose outer surfaces locking lugs 5 are formed. The distance a between the engaging sections 2 is adapted to the installation distance of the individual contactors.

FIG 2 zeigt ein Verbindungselement 1 im verrasteten Zustand in einem Einzelschütz 6, von dem hier nur ein Teilbereich wiedergegeben ist. Die Koppelstelle befindet sich hier außerhalb der Hutschienenbefestigung 7 des Einzelschützes, das zur Ankopplung des Verbindungselements 1 eine angepaßtFIG 2 shows a connecting element 1 in the locked state in a single contactor 6, of which only a part is shown here. The coupling point is located outside the top hat rail fastening 7 of the single contactor, which has an adapted

gestaltete Eingriffsnut 8 aufweist, die demzufolge auch T-förmig ausgebildet ist. Das Verbindungselement 1 ist hier nach Einschub in die Eingriffsnut 8 über seine Rastnasen 4 an einer Gehäüsekontur 9 des Einzelschützes 6 verrastet. Sowohl zum Einschub wie auch zur Demontage ist die Ausbildung mit den federnden Schenkeln 4 wichtig. Zur Demontage der Schützkombination wird das Verbindungselement 1 im Kopfbereich 3 mit einer Zange gegriffen und aus den Eingriffsnuten 8 der Magnetkammern der Einzelschütze 6 herausgezogen. Bei diesem Vorgang wird die Verrastung des Verbindungselements I automatisch entriegelt.designed engagement groove 8, which is therefore also T-shaped. Here, after being inserted into the engagement groove 8, the connecting element 1 is locked into a housing contour 9 of the individual contactor 6 via its locking lugs 4. The design with the spring-loaded legs 4 is important both for insertion and for disassembly. To disassemble the contactor combination, the connecting element 1 is gripped in the head area 3 with pliers and pulled out of the engagement grooves 8 of the magnet chambers of the individual contactors 6. During this process, the locking of the connecting element I is automatically unlocked.

Je nach Montageabstand der Einzelschütze wird das Verbindungselement 1 mit entsprechend angepaßten Abstand a zwischen seinen Eingriffsabschnitten 2 ausgeführt.Depending on the installation distance of the individual contactors, the connecting element 1 is designed with a correspondingly adjusted distance a between its engagement sections 2.

Obwohl die vorliegende Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die in der beigefügten Zeichnung dargestellte Ausführungsform erläutert ist, sollte berücksichtigt werden, daß damit nicht beabsichtigt ist, die Erfindung nur auf die dargestellte Ausführungsform zu beschränken, sondern alle möglichen Änderungen, Modifizierungen und äquivalente Anordnungen, soweit sie vom Inhalt der Patentansprüche gedeckt sind, einzuschließen.Although the present invention has been explained with reference to the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be noted that this is not intended to limit the invention only to the embodiment shown, but to include all possible changes, modifications and equivalent arrangements as far as they are covered by the content of the patent claims.
